THE ADELRH1 LITERARY ASSOCIATION.
The first appearance of the Adelphi Litera-
ry association in ''Esmeralda' at the New
Haven Opera House last night brought out a
large audience. The association is composed
of several well known ladies and gentlemen
who have become quite proficient in the
dramatic art and whose efforts were especial
ly successful last evening. The play was
well chosen and it was enacted very credita-
bly,. The stage settings were more elaborate
and appropriate than is usual with
professional companies. We refrain
from bestowing special praise upon
any of those who to k part in the entertain
ment, because it would be difficult to tell
whether we liked best the well assumed dia-
lect of ''Dave Hardy" the clever acting of
''Mr. Rogers" the very natural and graceful
"Nora Desmond" or the almost professional
assumption of the role of ''Easterbrook."
Then, too, the success of the play depended
not upon the merits of one or two of its
principal characters but upon all, and GER
tainly the audience made no distinction but
gave to all the applause they deserved and at
the conclusion of the drama called the entire
company before the curtain. The faults
were those common to all amateur perform
ances, most of it will disappear if the play is
repeated. Every member of the company
has reason to feel proud of the entire success
of the entertainment.

DUFF OPERA COMPANY.

J. G. Duff's Opera company present Won
Suppe's GA Trip to Africa" at Carlls Opera
House te-night with cast of principals that
should make a success of any company's work
that has yet given the public comic opera,
and of all writers of this class of works Won
Suppe is, perhaps, the most ambitious in
his scoring. He has already written upwards
of fifty operas, but comparatively few are
known to the Americans, yet in Germany NO
opera company's repertoire is complete with
out Won Suppe opera. His "Schom Gal
sthres" has been in their repertoire for over
a dozen years and is a most successful
grand opera. His lighter works have found
favor on this side, notably "Fatinitza,"
"Boccacio," etc. etc, which have been whis-
tied and played until they passed into their
hand-orgau period. GA Trip to Africa" is said
to be slightly reminiscent of both the above
mentioned. 1t is written in more ambitious
vein Following is Mr. Duff's cast:
